paged emergency medical techni-
cians to arrive, theminimumnum-
ber of personnel required by to
operate the vehicle.
The private ambulance
requested was a Community EMS
Ambulance Co., Advanced Life
Support unit with paramedics, the
appropriate personnel to adminis-
ter life-savingmeasures.
By the time two required
Northville Fire Department Basic
Emergency Medical Technicians
(EMTs) got to the station and drove
the ambulance two blocks north to
the man in critical distress, 10
minutes had elapsed from the
time of the initial 911 call. When
they arrived at the Main Street,
address they found the victim
undergoing resuscitation efforts
(CPR), which was started 6 min-
utes earlier by one of the three
Northville City Police officers
already on the scene. The time
was 12:12 a.m. and the Community
EMS paramedics coming from the
11 Mile Road and Beck station in
Novi had not yet arrived to assist
and administer necessary medica-
tions and the care that only
trained paramedics can perform.
While police officers had respond-
ed within four minutes, they were
able to provide only basic first-aid
procedures, suchas CPR.
At 12:16 a.m., 14 minutes after
the 911, call the Community EMS
ambulance with the paramedics
arrived at the upstairs location to
find the victimhaddied.
Most experts agree that four
responders, at least two trained in
Advance Life Support and two
trained in Basic Life Support, are
the minimum required to provide
the necessary life savingmeasures
to cardiac arrest victims. Experts
say two firefighters to provide
CPR, one to prepare the
Automated External Defibrillator
(AED) and analyze the results of
an electrocardiogram (ECG)
report, and one to prepare for and
initiate advanced cardiac life sup-
port measures, such as advanced
airway management, I.V. therapy
and pharmacological interven-
tions, are the minimum number
required to provide the necessary
care in a cardiac arrest situation.
An important factor in the survival
of the patient, the experts said, is
not only how quickly paramedics
arrive at the scene, but also how
quickly they begin administering
treatment. Recognized national
studies predicting cardiac arrest
survival rates link response time
to the probability of survival.
According to the national model,
in the best-case scenario a cardiac
arrest victim has a 67 percent
chance of survival within the criti-
cal first 6minutes.
Few municipal officials actual-
ly know exactly how long their
emergency crews take to reach
cardiac arrest victims and most
are selective about how they
report that performance. Many
report only the response time it
takes for the emergency crew to
arrive or the arrival of a police
officer, usually first on the scene.
Northville Township Department
of Public Safety Dispatch, which is
responsible for dispatching
Northville City Fire Department,
is unusual as all dispatch times, to
the second, from the first call for
help, are recorded, tracked and
reported.
Experts said that response
times and ratings can be deceiving
to the public because having the
appropriate personnel on the
scene to administer life-saving
measures is the most important
factor in adequate emergency
response, according to medical
professionals and paramedics
interviewedby

.
In Plymouth, city officials con-
tract fire and emergency medical
services with the Northville City
Fire Department even though the
two communities are not contigu-
ous.
According to Northville City
Fire Chief Steve Ott, there are no
established boundaries or rules
regarding the maximum distance
of residency from the city limits
for volunteers.
“Each case is handled on an
individualized basis…some (vol-
unteers) live outside of town and
work inside town. We don't have a
set line in the sand,” he said.
Until 2011, the City of Plymouth
and Plymouth Township operated
as a joint community fire depart-
ment. After an acrimonious split
between those two, officials from
the cities of Plymouth and
Northville combined fire and
medical emergency services. The
cities use separate ambulance
companies to handle the
Advanced Life Support, some-
thing not offered by the Northville
FireDepartment.
The City of Plymouth has a sys-
tem in place that City Manager
Paul Sincock describes as a
“three-tiered response,” where
police and the outside ambulance
company,
Huron
Valley
Ambulance, and the Northville
Fire Department are simultane-
ously dispatched to an emergency.
Some of the Plymouth police offi-
cers are also trained as fire
department personnel and can
also perform as a firefighter-first
responder.
The City of Plymouth recently
received an improved rating from
the Insurance Service Office, Inc.
(ISO) following an evaluation of
the city fire services. According to
ISO, a fire department could have
paid-on-call volunteers who are
retirees, or other staff with little or
no full-time experience or train-
ing, without impact on the rating.
Plymouth Township still oper-
ates with a full-time fire depart-
ment although the staff has been
reduced to 18 full-time firefight-
ers. All regular firefighters are
trained as paramedics and can
perform Advanced Life Support.
In addition the township has
seven part-time firefighters, two of
whom are paramedics who work
12-hour shifts from 8 a.m. until 8
p.m. The fire station that served
the largest township subdivision,
Lake Pointe, remains closed since
the staffing cuts.
The City of Romulus has eight
career firefighters and a support
staff of eight paid-on-call firefight-
ers. Canton Township has a full-
time professional fire department,
as does Northville Township, and
both offer paramedic and
Advanced Life Support. Wayne,
Westland and Inkster also are
staffed with full-time, non-volun-
teer firefighters and also offer
Advanced Life Support and para-
medic services. Van Buren
Township which serves both the
township and the City of Belleville
has both full-time and paid on-call
staff and does not offer Advanced
LifeSupport.
